Pysical education.

CIS is a great place to learn. The physical environment is attractive and the facilities ensure that all aspects of the curriculum are well supported. CIS offers a small, secure and fun filled learning environment for all our students.
Unlike other international schools, CIS is a non-profit organisation. This effectively means that all profits are put back into the school to improve facilities and resources. The inclusion of Arabic and Islamic Studies sets CIS apart from many of its peers, and forms a major part of the unique difference an education at CIS provides. Finally, CIS students are encouraged to develop their leadership skills and independence. They become sensitive and creative thinkers who learn about the world and people around them. They become tolerant and mature individuals who have the confidence and maturity to meet the challenges that today’s world offers.

CIS follows the British Curriculum from Early Years to Key Stage 4. In Early Years, children learn through play. In Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) children learn independence, responsibility and the fundamentals of literacy and numeracy. In Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6) they are taught the knowledge and skills enabling them to succeed in secondary education. In Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) students study a wide range of subjects before opting for IGCSE subjects at the end of Year 9. In Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) students continue to study English, Maths and ICT alongside either Science or Business based IGCSE options, sitting the internationally recognised IGCSE exams at the end of Year
